IPL 2020 playoffs: MI vs DC pitch report

Got a little bit of grass on it which should offer a little bit of pace and bounce. It actually aids the batting side as well and later in the night when dew starts to form then it will aid the batting side as well. 20 of the last 26 games have been won by the team batting second", reckon Simon Doull and Pommie Mbangwa during pitch report.

IPL 2020 playoffs live: MI-DC rivalry

Talking about the MI-DC rivalry in Indian Premier League, Dhawan said he did not believe that Mumbai had an upper hand. He further said that Delhi had also performed well in all the three departments -- batting, bowling, and fielding – during the league stages of IPL 2020.

 

However, the stats are not in favour of Delhi Capitals, given the Shreyas Iyer-led side has lost both its league games against Mumbai Indians this season.

 

"There is nothing like that (MI having an upper hand); we don't think that way. We came as a strong side too and we played good cricket in all three departments. We will stick to the plans and play accordingly," Dhawan said during a virtual press conference ahead of the MI vs DC Qualifier 1.
